Which of the following physical quantities has the same dimensions as that of Planck's constant?

Options

  1. ATorque
  2. BAngular momentum
  3. CLinear momentum
  4. DPower

Correct answer

B. Angular momentum

Step-by-step solution

Planck's constant (hh) can be determined from the energy of a photon, E=hνE = h\nu.

Dimensions of energy E=[ML2T−2]E = [M L^2 T^{-2}]
Dimensions of frequency ν=[T−1]\nu = [T^{-1}]
Therefore, dimensions of h=[ML2T−2][T−1]=[ML2T−1]h = \dfrac{[M L^2 T^{-2}]}{[T^{-1}]} = [M L^2 T^{-1}]

Now, checking the given options:
Torque = Force ×\times perpendicular distance ⇒[MLT−2]×[L]=[ML2T−2]\Rightarrow [M L T^{-2}] \times [L] = [M L^2 T^{-2}]
Angular momentum = mvr⇒[M]×[LT−1]×[L]=[ML2T−1]mvr \Rightarrow [M] \times [L T^{-1}] \times [L] = [M L^2 T^{-1}]
Linear momentum = mv⇒[M]×[LT−1]=[MLT−1]mv \Rightarrow [M] \times [L T^{-1}] = [M L T^{-1}]
Power = WorkTime⇒[ML2T−2][T]=[ML2T−3]\dfrac{\text{Work}}{\text{Time}} \Rightarrow \dfrac{[M L^2 T^{-2}]}{[T]} = [M L^2 T^{-3}]

Thus, angular momentum has the same dimensions as Planck's constant.
